General note:

Re-enactment of Edward Anthony taking daguerrotype views during the Canada-U.S.A. border survey of 1842. Photo taken 1971..
Martin Pottle, Product Publicity, GAF Corporation, to Richard Huyda, Head Historical Photographs Section, PAC, 10 April 1972: "While we have enclosed a copy print as per your request, we must point out that this photo is simply a reenactment of what we believe Anthony and his entourage must have looked like as they surveyed the Highlands. We must assure you that the authenticity of this.
picture as well as any other of this event is as seemingly remote as would be an "authentic" aerial photo of the Wright brothers' first flight at Kitty Hawk.".
